UAE extends small business relief for corporate tax until December 2029

Aug 10, 2026

The UAE Ministry of Finance has extended the period during which Small Business Relief may be claimed to tax periods ending on or before 31st December 2029.

The decision forms part of the ministry's ongoing efforts to support small businesses and start-ups, strengthen the business environment, and enable entrepreneurs to grow and expand their businesses, thereby reinforcing the UAE's position as a leading global destination for investment, said a WAM news agency report.

It also reaffirms the UAE's commitment to developing a competitive tax system that supports sustainable economic development, promotes compliance, and remains aligned with international best practices.

Under the decision, the threshold prescribed under Ministerial Decision No. (73) of 2023 will continue to apply to tax periods commencing on or after 1st June 2023, and shall apply to subsequent tax periods ending on or before 31st December 2029.

Small Business Relief enables taxable persons with annual revenue not exceeding AED3 million (the threshold) to benefit from simplified corporate tax compliance requirements, subject to the conditions and requirements set out in the relevant legislation, it said.
